Great work Armand. I will be having a play with this later on in the week.

It would be nice if DNN were to adopt a default reset & grid framework as it would make skining DNN so much easier.

If anyone is not sure what 960 is then I suggest watching this video - http://net.tutsplus.com/videos/screencasts/a-detailed-look-at-the-960-css-framework/.

Just one question (even though I personally like 960), why did you choose 960 instead of blueprint or yui?

Hi

Well the reason for that is more a question of like and not like. I have started out with yui because I was using the scripts for a project as well but making more complex splitted design proved a challenge to say the least. Especially for the earlier non valid dnn days that did require core changes ( i have been implementing it in 3 and up )

After that I made one myself based on pretty much the same inspiration and code of the 960 framework. So I never even looked at blueprint. Then some site I liked and followed released grid960 and It has soem better cleaner style as what i had so I switched over. I only needed minor modifications to excisting code to support his.

More complex splitted layouts where also very easy to make ( so 2 columns of 8 then the right column splitted in 4 and 4 and below that a splitted column of 3 and 5 and then below that again a column of 8 . Altho this did require a ie. css for ie issues because of double margin bugs when having modules with exact bottom margins .

I will have a document explaining that setup and how to apply a special container to the bottom one in the larges pane to make up for this.
